Should have ordered it sooner instead of leaving it in my cart so long!

Ehm... Just as a warning to anyone you will NEED to replace the heatsink on this card. It's absolute junk. Loud, and the board is too hot to touch within a while of running idle.

Well, I used the Thermaltake DuOrb, which, despite being a fairly subpar cooler, cooled it 20-30 degrees cooler than the stock on my PC 4870 1GB. And it was a bit noisy. Accelero S1 + cheap fan if you want a cheap solution, or a Thermalright HR-03 or T-Rad2 GTX (must be GTX). Or something similar. But those are best in class. The Accelero S1 well perform just as well as the T-Rad2 for half the price but is much larger and uglier. Lol.
